Installation of 5G Click systems&Maintenance Instructions

Installation of 5G Click systems

1. First plank, first row. Place a spacer of 8 to 10 mm thickness to the left and position the plank against the wall. Later, after 3 rows, you can easily position the flooring against the front wall with distances ≈10 mm.

2. Second plank, first row place this plank gently and tight to the short end of the first one

3. Fold the panel down in a single action movement. During the fold down, make sure the panels are tight against each other. Afterwards press down or slightly tap down at the short panels just installed till it clicks. No major force is required.

4. At the end of the first row, put a spacer ≈10mm, to the wall and measure the length of the last plank to fit.

5. Minimum distance between short ends of planks in parallel rows shall not be less than 500mm. This is for stability of the floor.

6. Second plank, second row place the panel at an angle into the groove of the previous row making sure that the end of the panel is tight/flush to the short end of the previous panel.

7. Fold the panel down in a single action movement with a slight press to the left to the short end of the previous panel. Again using the tapping block tap it against the long end into the previous row. During the fold down, make sure the panels are tight against each other.

8. As it flattens itself to the floor, press or gently tap the top of the short end of the installed panel until it clicks. Finish installing this plank by tapping it with a tapping block on the long side to ensure secure installation.

9. After 2-3 rows, adjust the distance to the front wall by placing spacers≈10 mm. Once the adjustment is done against the main wall, continue to install till the last row.

10. Last row (and perhaps also first row). The minimum width of the last plank should be NOT LESS than 50mm. Remember distance to wall is 10 mm. TIP: Put a spacer before measuring Cut the panels lengthwise and glue the short ends.

11. If the product needs to be removed the floor should be raised carefully to approximately 30 degrees and then slid outwards along the locking system. The product must not be pulled upwards as this will potentially damage the locking system.

Maintenance Instructions

Direct sunlight can also damage SPC Flooring. This can issues such as fading, colour changes, cracking and dimensional changes Windows must be covered in these areas with curtains or blinds. In areas where the flooring comes into close proximity with a fire place,stove or other heating systems the Hybrid flooring can be damaged due to the excessive heat that is outside our warranty requirements.

Heavy objects such bookcases, billiard tables, kitchen units, that exceed 200kg/object area or if the load is greater than30kg/cm² should not be placed on a floating system. Damage can occur due to incorrect expansion and lack of correct raft movement.

During maintenance or cleaning avoid household cleaners that contain bleach, abrasives or ammonia. A spray mop is the ideal cleaning tool along with the correct timber flooring cleaner.

Daily cleaning should be done with a vacuum cleaner or soft broom, any sand or dirt should be immediately removed because they can cause surface scratches or damage.

Do not use Steam Mops as this can damage the flooring due to excessive direct heat.

Fit self adhesive felt pads under all your furniture straight after the floor is installed to

avoid scratching or damage to the vinyl surface. Use protective mats at all external doors to remove foreign material from your shoes to reduce the risk of scratches. Rubber based mats and protective products can leach into the flooring surface and should not be used.

Never slide or roll appliances across the floor as this will cause bruising and scratches to the

surface. Spiked heels can scratch and dent flooring product and should be avoided.

Animals nails should be trimmed to avoid damage to flooring.

Under Floor Heating

When installing over under floor heating system, ensure that the instruction of heating procedures is obeyed, before laying the floor.

Floating floor laying instructions must be followed.

The surface temperature from the underfloor heating must not exceed 27 degrees Celsius and the wattage should not exceed 60 watts/m2.

Turn on the heating system for at least 3 weeks prior to laying the floor and run at the desired temperature then switch off48hrs before installation, the heating system can be started 1 week after the floor has been installed with gradual increases by 2 degrees increments each day until you reach the correct temperature and when turning off the heating system go down gradually by 2 degree increments each day until off.
